A Forest of Stars

A Forest of Stars is an English avant-garde metal band formed in Leeds in 2007. Known for their distinctive anachronistic concept, the band presents itself as a Victorian-era gentlemen's club devoted to exploring esoteric and philosophical themes. Their music is a unique and theatrical blend of atmospheric black metal, progressive rock, psychedelic folk, and ambient soundscapes. Characterized by the interplay between harsh, screamed vocals and spoken-word passages, aggressive guitar work, and the prominent use of violin and piano, they craft long, narrative-driven compositions. Their debut album, 'The Corpse of Rebirth', established their signature sound, which they have continued to develop across releases on labels like #Lupus Lounge# and #Prophecy Productions#.
